Term of respect for someone who has gone to Mecca?

Question

Is there a term for someone who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca as required by Islam?
(Is this also required of women and is there a separate term?)

Answer 1

habib

Answer 2

Many people use the Arabic term for pilgrim (m: hajj, f: hajj-jah) as a title for someone who has performed the pilgrimage. Although this is widespread practice, it is considered wrong in Islam, since Hajj is an act of worship between the person and God and only God knows if it's accepted or not. Moreover, using the term is considered showoff and that's not accepted in Islam.

Answer 3

I really wish a Muslim would answer this question. Instead, I'll settle for the good ol' fashion dictionary for now (which no one seems to know how to use nowadays):

A "Haj" or "Hajj" is the actual pilgrimage to Mecca during Ramadan.

A "Haji" or "Hajji" is the person who has made the pilgrimage.

"Haji" or "Hajji" is how you would address the person who made the pilgrimage.

To those of the Muslim faith, please let me know if these terms are accurate.

Answer 4

Muslims are required to make a pilgrimage(Hajj) to Mecca at least once in their life if they are physically and financially capable.
It is required of a Muslim, man or woman.

Answer 5
